Danbury Library - On Top of Technology!
I've just come back from the three-day, very informative Computers in Libraries 2008 Conference down in Arlington, Virginia. Staff members are generally sent out to certain conferences to learn about what's new in libraries, how other libraries are doing things and what kinds of trends or basics are out there that our own library is lacking and/or should be doing. I am so proud to say that I've joined an amazing library that's already ahead of the game in terms of technology and how we're using it to serve you, our customers; and that in fact, I don't have much new information to report back with because Danbury Library is already doing it for you!
From being the first public library in the entire world to implement LibraryThing in our online card catalog, to providing email and IM service, to our self-check out stations, Danbury Library is really the place to be. We're the place to go for information, innovation, and inspiration. We always strive to be a better library for our customers, and to find new ways to serve you better. We're always open to your suggestions and comments on how to improve, so please, let us know! We'd love to hear from you.
Comments
Oh my goodness -- I don't know whether to comment here or respond to the site address or email the director! I have two personal connections with your library and a host of affinities -- I wish I worked with you! I'm subscribing to your blog to keep in touch and will comment more later. Congrtulations to your town, too, which clearly supports your mission!

Hi Jane,
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the library, and our great city of Danbury that supports us, is certainly the place to be!
